In FSX Steam Spoilers are visible when in reverse, but otherwise not visible when deployed?
Dear Tracyg56,
I've delved into your query about the visibility issue of spoilers in FSX Steam when they are deployed, except during reverse thrust. This is quite an intriguing issue, and I've gathered some insights that might help you troubleshoot and understand the situation better.
Firstly, it's essential to understand that in FSX (and this applies to both the Steam version and others like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or X-Plane 12, if relevant), spoilers play a crucial role not only in reducing speed during descent (airbrakes) but also in decreasing lift and slowing down the aircraft upon landing. The issue you're experiencing could be attributed to various factors, including settings within the simulator, specific aircraft model peculiarities, or even nuances in the simulator's programming.
Here are a few steps and considerations that might help you resolve or understand the issue:
Remember, simulation platforms like FSX are complex and sometimes exhibit behaviors that might seem unusual but can be attributed to various factors within the simulation environment. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to the simulation community or support forums for more targeted advice.
I hope this helps you in resolving the spoiler visibility issue in FSX Steam. Happy flying!
